Tickets

We offer sliding scale pricing for individual tickets from $7 to $19 per ticket. All ticket prices are inclusive of taxes and fees and include a non-voting membership. We offer the same range of ticket prices for both in-person and online screenings, allowing you the flexibility to pay what you can.

To purchase tickets, go to individual event pages on our online Programme and click “Get Tickets” to make your selection and add to cart.

Free admission

We offer free admission to all self-identifying Indigenous peoples, and to companions accompanying people who need assistance to access our events. We recommend booking tickets in advance to secure your seats, especially to popular screenings; to receive a fee-waiver code to book your advance ticket (s) online, please contact boxoffice@outonscreen.com.

If you have any concerns about accessing any of our films or events, either for financial reasons or because of other barriers you may experience, please contact our Box Office team and we’ll work with you to make arrangements.

The all-access Festival Pass gives you access to all film screenings and events in our program, online and in-person. There are two price points to choose from, $100 and $195. An Early Bird Discount price of $140 is available until August 11, 2024.

We are pleased to offer FREE all-access Industry Passes to equity-deserving filmmakers, programmers, and students in related fields. Learn more and apply for an Industry Pass. Powered by Warner Bros. Discovery.

What you get:

  • Access to all in-person screenings and events across downtown Vancouver.
  • First pick of seats when theatres open 30 minutes before each screening. All other ticketholders enter ~15 minutes before each screening.
  • Access to our online Watch Platform where you can stream our films from anywhere in BC.

Passholders can pick up their printed pass (with your name on it!) and lanyard at Box Office during the Festival and/or access a virtual pass on your mobile device. We reserve ~30% of seats for passholders at each screening. While we’ve never had to turn away passholders before, for popular and sold-out screenings, we recommend passholders collect a slip up to 60 minutes before start time at the venue’s Box Office to “save” their seat. Passholders also enter the theatre first!

The Digital Pass provides full access to all of our online film screenings and is perfect for those who prefer to only or primarily watch from home! The Digital Pass does not provide access to any in-person screenings, and additional ticket purchases will be required.

Memberships

Out On Screen operates in compliance with the Motion Picture Act and Consumer Protection BC. Per the laws of these bodies, you must be a member of The Vancouver Out On Screen Film and Video Society and 18 years of age and older to view unrated films. 

All tickets will automatically include a non-voting membership to the society. Films that are unrated still require attendees to be 18 years of age or older and this will be verified at each screening.

Our voting membership goes above and beyond: it’s a statement that you support the work that we do at Out On Screen using the transformative power of film to uplift queer, trans, and Two Spirit people and artists. Voting memberships are included with all Festival Passes. You may also purchase a voting membership for $5.

If the price of a voting membership is prohibitive but you’d love to engage with the society, please reach out to info@outonscreen.com.

Voting Membership

$5

For patrons aged 18 and up. Allows voting at our AGM and input into Society motions. Festival Passes include 1 voting membership.

Memberships are limited to 1 per person.
